Leslie Brian Taylor (born October 25, 1953, Earl Shilton, Leicestershire) is a former English cricketer who played in 2 Tests and 2 ODIs in 1985 following a three year ban for joining Graham Gooch's rebel tour to South Africa (where Taylor was the leading bowler). Taylor won selection to the winter tour to the West Indies, but was dubbed Lord Lucan by certain members of the press due to his lack of matches on tour. Taylor played his last International game (a ODI) on May 24 1986 versus India.
